My System

My system:
AMD X2 4200+ (stock speed of 2.2Ghz)
ASRock 939Dual-Sata2
2x1GB dual channeled DDR400 RAM @ 2-3-2-5
ATi 9800Pro AIW (directly from ATi)
FSP 450W PSU

Quick 8MB test:

Harddrive 1: 2.1GB ramdom Samsung IDE drive I found and decided to test. Model number is: WU32165A. I think it's a 4200 or 5400RPM drive.
Sequential Read Peak = 5.1 MB/s
Burst Speed = 13.0 MB/s
Average Read = 1.8 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 0% (+/- 2%)
Random Access = 16.7ms

Harddrive 2: 200GB Maxtor IDE drive. 7200RPM, 16MB cache, theretical seek of 9ms, not defraged for about 6 months, with about 100GB of data on it, Model: 6L200P0 BAH41G10
Sequential Read Peak = 65.5 MB/s
Burst Speed = 120.8 MB/s
Average Read = 53.7 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 1% (+/- 2%)
Random Access = 14.8ms

HDTach BSOD's my laptop (Does anyone else have this happen, or do I have a hardware conflict?)

I'm going to be formatting my 200GB tonight, so I'll edit with the fresh install results. If I get a chance I'll also grab scores of my parent's home PC, and my mom's and sister's laptops, along with a USB external harddrive.
I don't think there is a Mac or Linux version of HDTach, so I can't run it on my PowerPC 66Mhz SCSI rig or my server.
